Did you know that there are currently four “PGs” in the NBA with the first name Anthony? goathair did.
And since most people probably have never heard of any of the four, he graciously took the time to detail the critical distinctions between them. I’m not going to spoil the results, so unless you understand the Anthony Matrix code below like I do, you’ll have to go over there to find out the specifics.
In related news, Dwight Howard calls Anthony Johnson “Little Neck Johnson,” which I think is important information to have in case you’re ever on Jeopardy!.
My teammates are cool. I love my teammates. I love ‘em. Our new vet, he’s the best. Anthony Johnson. I said last time, but we call him ‘Little Neck Johnson.’ We were in Memphis, Tennessee last week and before the game … I thought I would never see the day that I saw someone that had literally no neck. We thought Anthony Johnson had no neck, but this dude right here, oh my God! Like, if he had a mock turtleneck shirt on, it would have come up to his nose. And I’m like, Anthony Johnson ain’t got no neck, but at least he can wear mock necks. And this dude, his shoulders were at his ears. He was telling everybody. “Hey, yo, playas don’t go that way, come back this way!” And you can imagine somebody talking with their shoulders, I’m like, “Dude, relax your shoulders, man, chill out!” But he couldn’t do it, he didn’t have no neck!
Now just memorize all the foods that start with the letter “Q” and you’ll be all set.

Despite his agEHHHHHH OHHHHHHHHHH dunk on Friday night, Patrick Ewing Jr. was cut yesterday. You know, cause they needed that final roster spot for Anthony Roberson, who by my calculations will certainly lead the Knicks to at least an additional eight more wins and definitely validate holding down that 15th man spot over the son of the most popular player in team history and all.
Here’s new GM Donnie Walsh’s sentiments on the the cut.
“It’s painful,” Walsh said. “You want people who people like.”
So why not just keep him?
For more on Walsh, who I think is a great executive, check this great article from New York magazine.
UPDATE: DIme caught up with Spike Lee down at the Kia NBA Tip-Off in New York’s Union Square today, and he is not so thrilled with the decision to cut young Ewing neither.
“I’m totally disgusted with the Knicks cutting Patrick Ewing, Jr. I don’t understand that. I don’t understand it. The guy can play. I mean he can play, he wants to play. You can’t teach that – somebody who wants to play, somebody who would go through a brick wall to help their team. And I don’t think that people count the fact that he’s Patrick Ewing’s son. Come on.
“I don’t understand that move. I’m not trying to blast Donnie Walsh of Coach D’Antoni, I’m not looking to blow up their spot. But it seems to me they could have found a space for him.”
Spike also sounds optimistic that LeBron will come to MSG instead of joining the NJ/Brooklyn Nets in 2010.
He wants to come to New York. He told me people are putting this stuff about him coming to Brooklyn because of Jay-Z. First of all, this Brooklyn thing is no wrap. That’s not a done deal. Hova’s his boy, but that’s going to determine where he leaves, if he chooses to do so.
